Some initial design decisions: while one version DID have Fusion Guns,
posts to this list and TML convinced me that they weren't feasible in TNE.
Sigh.
Other possible options: TL15 50 ton laser bays would have a Damage Value
of 125 and be able to penetrate armor up to 5000. In a Bogan-esque refit,
assuming that Bogan Bays were Verboten, I would use laser bays instead of
Particle Bays.
Potentially "controversial" decisions:
No Contra-Grav: the CT design could refuel without Shuttles in an emergency.
I've tried to dup. this by having scoops but no Contra Grav, so it's possible
but difficult: more on this in the Ops discussion.
Short "Legs": From what I can tell, all the CT warship conversions have
about 50 g-turns of fuel. My fuel section was largely dictated by the
fuel space on the CT AHL class. The fact that it turned out about the
same as the other CT conversions is interesting.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

big ones.

Here it is, the whole design sequence in GDW format: it shows
each calculation, and can serve as a guide for others.
Since I don't remember seeing many other design examples (in this
lurid detail), I'll just go ahead and post this to the TML next week,
barring objections and corrections.
When I ran through this design evaluation, I made a few changes.
Corrected Evaluations will follow.
This ship is an attempt at converting the Azhanti High Lightning Class
Cruiser, originally presented in Azhanti High Lightning (808), with
Suppliment 5, Lightning Class Cruisers by Frank Chadwick and Marc
Miller. A MegaTraveller conversion was presented in Arrival Vengance
by Greg Videll w/ Dave Nilsen.
The basic design peramerters were as follows for the Frontier Cruiser
config:
TL 14, 60,000 ton Hull, Jump 5, Manuever 2, a TL 15 Spinal Meson Gun,
24 TL-15 50-ton Partical Accellerator Bays, 100 triple laser turrets,
100 triple sandcaster turrets, 80 Fusion Guns, Nuclear Dampeners, A
Black Globe, Meson Screens, 2 launch tubes for 20-ton craft, hanger
space for 60 fighters and 6 gunboats, and 4 400-ton fuel shuttles.
Various Docking capibilites were specified in the CT version, but did
not appear in Arrival Vengence. I've gone with the CT version.
The Fusion Guns are no longer a space combat weapon (the plasma/fusion
bolts don't travel at close to light speed: please don't ask me about
this one, physicks = magick to me ;-) )
I would LIKE to have a Large Nuclear Dampener that can stop all
incoming missles, but since FF&S doesn't contain clear rules for this,
I went with a number of Dampener Turrets. I'd replace them at the drop
of a hat ;-)
About the 50 ton bays: Even if you can pack multiple Partical
Accelerators into one bay, they don't really have the penetration to
effect big ships. I would, to make the ship more survivable (as
opposed to being true to the old design). A TL 15 50 ton Laser Bay
would have a DV of 125, and would be able to penetrate an AV of 5000.
This type of bay would be a MUCH better ship killer than the Particle
Bays. But hey, my players think they have Particle Bays.
I've tried to indicate where the formulas diverge from FF&S, and where
the errata came from.
PLEASE if you find any errors in this design sequence, please let me
know. I hope that others can use this to make ship design easier of
new designers.
All items TL 14 unless noted otherwise in the text.

the size of the space on the deckplans in AHL and AV}

3.Meson Tunnel Characteristics
I used interpolation to find the values for TL-15. If interpolation
between TL is illegal, than the values are wrong and will need to be
recalculated. I basically took the average between the two values.

c. Fire Control
{From the way the original batteries were set up, I would say that
there were 10 MFDs each for the Lasers, Sandcasters, and Missles,
1 MFD for each Particle Accelerator, 1 MFD for the Meson Gun. Nuclear
Dampeners weren't arranged in batteries before, but since I assume you'd
want to be SURE you'd hit with one, I gave each one a MFD as well.
Also, I couldn't see anything that indicated that Sandcasters could
use MFDs. Because I have multiple fire control decks, I multiplied
the number of MFDs x4, (except for the Nuc. Damp. MFDs) for redundancy.}
Pencil beam sensors for MFDs multiply the power requirements and antenna
size by 0.1 and the cost by 0.5. The volume and mass remain the same.

I arrived at a power need of 73,775 MW through my spreadsheet. You
should actually perform this step AFTER the Manuever Drive step,
unless you want to allocate Power Plant specifically for the drives.
